Mandel thinks major conference realignment is over for now, but puts forth some scenarios that will have message boards and twitterers holding out for hope. One of these scenarios:

"Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany, undeterred in his quest for East Coast domination, adds Connecticut and maybe Cincinnati. Granted, never in a million years did I think he'd take on financial disasters Rutgers and Maryland, but never in a billion years do I think he'll add two schools with 40,000-seat stadiums in television markets the Big Ten already mostly claims."

Cheers,

Neil

After reading that article (well done), I would have cut and pasted the same quote. Sucks to be Yukon or Cinci right now.

Is anyone else tired of the Bleacher Report experiment on CNN? Just bring back CNNSI already.
